The boat buckle has a break strength of 1500 pounds. Is that enough for your boat’s weight? I had a difficult time finding straps with a 2500 break strength that is in line with the 5,000 pound weight of my boat. I would love the convenience of boat buckles though. Are they enough for my boat ...

2. I am willing to travel anywhere in the country. My thoughts were to fly to check out the boat, then return to ...

Hi! I'm new to the forum. I'm not a Cobalt owner yet, but I hope to be one soon. I've been reading the forums for a while and I am very impressed with the depth of information here. I can't wait to find my Cobalt! I'm focusing on a 250 bowrider or similar. Any advice or any leads on clean examples ...
